Whether you're a book-lover or not, visiting the Brontë Parsonage Museum is an absolute must. That's why bookworms from all corners of the Earth gravitate to Haworth year-round to see where classic novels like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were written. Their novels became global sensations, and even today, they're well-established and famous all around the world, being hailed as some of the greatest pieces of the literary art of all time.
